International bestselling author, Fredrik Backman, joins Simon for the Radio 2 Book Club to discuss our latest choice, A Man Called Ove. This word of mouth bestseller is a heartwarming and uplifting tale of love and community, which centres around the grumpiest man you will ever meet - Ove.

This book will leave you with a spring in your step - and less ready to judge, on first impressions, a man you might one day wish to have as your dearest friend.

We'll also unleash a new Confession, help with your homework and play some oldie choices.
